The “Poster Party for Bike People” that grew out of Minneapolis is happening in cities across the US and Europe this Spring and Summer. We’re proud to be teaming up with Crash and Sue’s, Doomtree and more to tell this unique story. Directed by: Tony Franklin

Beyond the messenger and fixed-gear scenes, contemporary bicycle culture is more fashionable, diverse, and alive than ever before. According to Dustin Nordhus of Berlin’s Cicli Berlinetta, “people who live in a big city are becoming aware that it’s nicer to have a beautiful bicycle than a car.” Gestalten.tv talks to Dustin as well as bike enthusiast Anna Valtonen from Pelago Bicycles, who are featured in Velo–2nd Gear. Along with presenting their stories and their outstanding and unconventional bicycles, the video shares different perspectives on why, according to Standert’s Max von Senger, the bicycle is evolving into “an object of desire for everyone.”

Timelapse bike build of the new 2013 Continental Orange Alpine 160 enduro based team bike with rider Rob Scullion ready for a season of gravity orientated racing. I got together with Continental team rider Rob Scullion to document his build experience of the new 2013 Continental Orange Alpine 160 team bike. Fashioned in all the latest and greatest from a bunch of their generous sponsors this team bike is set to stand out above the crowd at the races. The Continental Orange team, a three man strong team consisting of Rob Scullion, Mike Inman and Aled “Pysgau” Griffiths will be focusing mainly on the gravity orientated races based in the UK, and have set them selves on the right foot from the get go with this machine!
